By analyzing the arrival of seismic waves, scientists can infer (figure out) all of these EXCEPT:
S waves travel through solids only
Mercalli scale
tsunamis, increase in CO2 gas in the atmosphere, and destruction of buildings.
The height of the mountain before the eruption.
the seismic gap
moment magnitude scale
seismogram
loss of life, fertile soil, and new ocean crust
Which of the following is NOT used in determining the VEI of a volcanic eruption?
